Hi,

I want to get a random result from a quite specialised SQL query. I built the query simply using SQLQuery:

$sqlQuery = new SQLQuery();
$sqlQuery->select = array( ... etc ... );
$sqlQuery->from = array( ... etc ...);
... etc ...
$sqlQuery->orderBy = 'RAND()';

Works all perfectly except $sql->orderBy = 'RAND()';

If I order by a specific field it's fine, but ORDER BY RAND() simply gets stripped out of the query when I run

$sqlQuery->sql();

Do I do anything wrong or is RAND() simply not supported as an orderby value? If it's not supported may I suggest to include this in a future version of Silverstripe?

Cheers!
